Dr. David Lishan, principal scientist at Plasma-Therm and the workshop organizer, added: “These workshops fill an education gap. The practical aspects of semiconductor fabrication and in particular plasma processing are often omitted in curriculum in favor of device design and physics. Facility users at universities and institutes frequently rely on engineering staff to develop standard processes and as a result, researchers, without the hands-on understanding of the plasma processing fundamentals, are constrained in their research efforts. Researchers are enthusiastic about gaining insight into the world of plasma processes. We are very pleased to support KANC, a long term customer and important, pivotal member of Korea’s research network.”
